Oceanography:  All change in the Arctic

Bob Dickson1

Variability in the Arctic has long seemed to have some especial involvement in global change; polar amplification and feedback are recurrent themes in numerical climate modelling1. But we have lacked knowledge of the mechanisms supposed to underpin this link, and (with exceptions such as a 20-year dataset provided by Arctic drifting buoys) have lacked many of the ocean time-series necessary to demonstrate the fact or character of change in Arctic waters.
